Water sports and leisure activities Baie de Somme

Welcome to this lovely home, where you can discover the beauty of the Bay of the Somme in the gentlest of ways: on foot, by bike or aboard genuine wooden Canadian canoes. Paddle along the estuary of the Baie de Somme like an explorer, taking the time to observe the rich flora and fauna. Whether you're walking, paddling or pedaling, you'll enjoy the splendors of Samarian nature, between bay, seals and marshes: you'll forge unforgettable memories for the whole family!

The Aquaclub de Belle Dune is a major attraction for those who want to have a (very) good time in the water during their stay in Fort-Mahon. The work carried out last year was grandiose, with a complete overhaul of the structure, the creation of a 25-meter-long swimming pool and a wellness and fitness area, as well as the restructuring of the restaurant (soon to be opened), changing rooms, beaches and pools. A magnificent achievement for hours of pleasure in water heated to 29°C!

You can't leave Fort-Mahon-Plage without trying out sand yachting on these vast stretches of sand! Eolia Picardie is the first sand yachting school in France, founded in 1985. Enjoy an exhilarating ride on a sand yacht on over 25 km of beach. Activities last between 2 and 3 hours, so you'll have plenty to see and do. Make sure you're properly equipped (warm clothing, boots or old sneakers, gloves and goggles), so you can take home some exceptional memories!

Aqu'Abb is more than just a pool, it's THE swimming center in Abbeville! The Olympic-size pool lets you swim without discomfort. The complex also has a 25-meter sports pool, a leisure pool, a diving pit and a paddling pool for the little ones. There's also a large 50 m slide and a small one in the paddling pool. There's also a wide range of activities for those who enjoy physical exercise in the water: aquagym, aquabike and aquarunning. And there's also a steam room, sauna and solarium!

Would you like to try your hand at coastal water walking (or longe-côte) during your stay in the Baie de Somme? Then La Rando Caouaise is the club to turn to! Everyone is welcome to try this popular coastal sport. Three types of outings are on offer: Santé (for beginners or those with health concerns), Remise en forme (for those who regularly go long-distance) and Cardiotonique (for those who want a more intense outing). All in a magnificent setting and a great atmosphere!

From the beaches of Cayeux-sur-Mer or Le Crotoy (depending on the tide), you can conquer the sensations of kitesurfing. The Baie de Somme kitesurfing school offers discovery and advanced courses, as well as private lessons with a simulator. All these activities are supervised by state-certified instructors. As a reminder, you'll take to the skies on a board gliding over the water, towed by a kite. A breathtaking experience!

Visiting the Baie de Somme from the water: now there's an idea that's a little different from the ordinary! You'll embark on a tour of the bay aboard a Polynesian pirogue, a va'a, or in a kayak: you'll have to paddle. Don't worry, though: the view of this unspoilt natural environment is well worth the energy expended. Departures are adapted to tide and participant schedules, so reservations are essential! There are several routes of different lengths: seal encounters, salt meadows, tour of the estuary...

From Saint-Valery-sur-Somme to Abbeville, come and discover the Somme canal on board of pleasure boats which can accommodate from five to seven people and - moreover - can be sailed without a licence. The nautical base is located 100 m from the drawbridge at the exit of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme towards Le Crotoy. If you prefer, you can also rent a bicycle, classic, tandem or electric. You can then take advantage of the "Véloroute Vallée de Somme" cycle tracks to discover Saint-Valery-sur-Somme and its surroundings. Free parking.
